When a cat swishes its tail back and forth quickly, that generally means that it is agrivated. The best idea would be to stay away from the cat when it is like this, or you may risk being scratched or bitten.

Why does my cat vibrate?

A cat's tail may vibrate if they are annoyed. If something else is annoying the cat, their tail may vibrate and it can signal aggression. However, some cats might vibrate their tail while being petted, as a sign that they like being petted or are otherwise content, even purring (which is also not a black-and-white signal). It very much depends on the cat and how well its owner reads its "language."
